(...) So after several shows upon shows with NILTC building and rebuilding my trees, I finally took the time to 'tube' them in a similar fashion to yours. Sooooo much better, I have to say. They stayed together like a charm. So I wanted to say (...) (17 years ago, 18-Jan-08, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.town, lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) Hey, you two guys! Great MOCs, both of you. As it so happens, I am rebuilding (URL) my subway station> and had only built one vending machine for it, but I think now I'm going to add a few more;-) JOHN (17 years ago, 17-Jan-08, to lugnet.town, FTX)

(...) -SNIP- (...) Tim: That's awesome! I love the slightly smaller form factor compared to mine. Yours appears to be more to scale with a "standard pop/soda machine". I also like the use of SNOT and 1/2-stud offset in your design. Very trick. I'll (...) (17 years ago, 17-Jan-08, to lugnet.town, FTX)

(...) Dave, Very nice. I actually did a similar one a few years ago, not sure if I ever published it. The only files I could find were an MPD file and an image of an LDrawn screenshot. I uploaded them here: (URL) The MPD is at: (URL) -Tim (17 years ago, 17-Jan-08, to lugnet.town, FTX)

(...) Thanks :) (...) The building is indeed modular, it has been designed as such because I knew I would need to put it apart for transporting. Basically every wall section is a separate module (details on how it is "cut" can be seen (URL) if (...) (17 years ago, 17-Jan-08, to lugnet.town, FTX)

(...) Hi Matija, I also was following up your updates in the brickshelf gallery on the HNK building. And right from the first CAD file I saw I must addmit that this building is absolutly fantastic. It's a very challenging building to convert it into (...) (17 years ago, 16-Jan-08, to lugnet.town, FTX)

(...) Knock knock... still there? ;) So, the first version is finally built (and I must say I'm more than glad about that period being over). It had become "a bit" exhausting after a while, but I think it was worth it. (2 URLs) To William, re "I (...) (17 years ago, 14-Jan-08, to lugnet.town, FTX) !

(...) I was lucky enough to have some extra vacation left at the end of the year. I took about 12 days off work starting Dec. 21st. During this time I think I spent most of my waking moments building LEGO Star Wars sets. :-) I still haven't (...) (17 years ago, 9-Jan-08, to lugnet.town, FTX)

(...) The vending machine and train station are both great MOCs! But one thing I don't understand. With all those new Star Wars sets for Christmas, how do you find time to build excellent MOCs as well?! Keep building! (17 years ago, 9-Jan-08, to lugnet.town, FTX)

Looks great. Furniture is something I’m trying to build more of...tired of just having lots of barrels, crates and treasure chests in every corner. (Actually - that sounds like all my college apartments!) The details on the machine are sharp - Sorry (...) (17 years ago, 9-Jan-08, to lugnet.town, FTX)

| | Minifig Vending Machine

No it's not a machine that vends Minifigs...although that would be a sweet concept. I'd go broke if we had one of those at work. :-) I might just be on to something here. A Minifig vending machine. It could revolutionize Minifig distribution. (...) (17 years ago, 8-Jan-08, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.town, FTX) !

The name translates to "Coast Guard Beach Truck with (...) (17 years ago, 3-Jan-08, to lugnet.town, lugnet.trains, FTX)

OK, so TLG used it as a fender. Looks like a good piece for windows on a building. (URL) Now we just need to see it in an earth-tone color. Looks like black will be available on one of the larger sets. Jonathan (17 years ago, 2-Jan-08, to lugnet.town)

(...) Actually, there is only one siren which plays both sounds as far as I can tell. You turn the knob on the top of the siren to change what sound is played. Thats how it is on all the sirens I have seen anyway. (17 years ago, 23-Dec-07, to lugnet.town, lugnet.space)
